Enticknap, Leo Douglas Graham.
London : Wallflower,
2005.
This timely new study provides a through grounding in the history and theory of moving image film, video, sound recording and allied technology. The volume explains scientific and technical concepts clearly and in a way that can be taken on board by non-scientists. The book also integrates a discussion of traditional, film-based technologies with the impact of emerging "new media" technologies such as digital video, e-cinema and the internet. The book is designed for students reading humanities subjects which approach moving image technology from a myriad of standpoints but who need to be well-versed in the many roles of technology.
